The story of Alibaba and the forty thieves, good words and sentences
A long time ago, there lived two brothers in a village in Bohai. My brother's name is Geximu, and my brother's name is Rebaba. After their father died, they each got limited property, separated from each other and made their own living. Soon the money ran out and life became more and more difficult. In order to make ends meet, the two brothers have to work hard day and night. Later, Geximu was lucky enough to marry the daughter of a wealthy businessman. He inherited his father-in-law's estate and started a business. Due to the booming business and rapid development, Geximu soon became a well-known wealthy businessman. Ribaba married the daughter of a poor family, and the couple lived a poor life. There are only three donkeys except a shabby house. Libaba lives by selling firewood, driving donkeys to the jungle to cut firewood every day, and then carrying them to the market to sell them for a living. One day, my father drove three donkeys up the mountain to cut firewood. He collected the cut dead trees and dry wood, tied them into packages and let the donkey carry them. When chopping wood and preparing to go down the mountain, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in the distance, flying straight up and rolling towards him, getting closer and closer. On closer inspection, it was a cavalry team, which was rushing in this direction. Ribaba is afraid, because if she meets a gang of gangsters, the donkey will be taken away and her life will be difficult to protect. He was full of fear and wanted to escape, but it was impossible to escape from the forest because the gang was getting closer and closer. He had to drive the donkey with firewood to the jungle path and climb a big tree to hide. The big tree grows next to a huge and dangerous stone. He hid his body in the thick branches and leaves, from which he could see everything below clearly, but the people below could not see him. By this time, the gang had run to the tree, stopped and stood in front of the big stone. They have forty * * *, and everyone is strong and agile. Looking closely, Li Baba seems to be a group of robbers who robbed the road. Obviously, they just robbed a caravan full of goods and came here to share the stolen goods, or they were going to hide the stolen goods. Baba thought to himself, determined to find out. The gangster tied the horse to the tree and took down the heavy saddle bag, which obviously contained gold, silver and jewels. At this time, a leader-like man, carrying a heavy saddle bag, came all the way from the jungle to the big stone and murmured, "Sesame, open the door!" " "With the cry of the leader, a wide road suddenly appeared in front of the big stone, so the robbers filed in. The leader walks last. As soon as the leader entered the cave, the gate closed automatically. Because there were robbers in the cave, Li Baba hid in the tree and dared not come down. He was afraid that they would suddenly come out of the hole, fall into their hands and be killed. Finally, he decided to steal a horse and drive his donkey back to the city. Just as he was about to come down from the tree, the door of the cave suddenly opened and the bandit leader took the lead in coming out of the cave. He stood in front of the door and counted his men. When he saw that people had come out, he began to recite a spell and said, "Sesame, close the door!" " With his shouts, the door of the cave closed automatically. After the leader checked, no problems were found, so the men went to their horses, put the empty saddles on the saddle, and then jumped on the horses one by one, followed the leader and roared off. Dad stayed in the tree and watched them until they disappeared, then came down from the tree. At first, he was afraid to come down from the tree because he was afraid that some robbers would suddenly come back. At this moment, he said to himself, "I want to test the effect of this spell and see if I can also open the door of this cave." So he shouted, "sesame, open the door!" " As soon as his shouts fell, the cave door opened at once. He walked in carefully, lifted up his eyes and saw a big hole with a dome. The light net passed through the vent hole at the top of the hole, just like lighting a lamp. At first, he thought that since it was a den of thieves, there was nothing but darkness. But the fact is beyond his expectation. The cave is full of property, which makes people stunned. Piles of silk, brocade, embroidery, piles of colorful carpets, and countless gold and silver coins, some scattered on the ground and some packed in purses. Suddenly seeing so much gold and silver wealth, Li Baba was convinced that this must be the treasure hole accumulated by robbers from generation to generation. After Baba entered the cave, the door of the cave automatically closed again. He has nothing to worry about, because he has mastered the starting method of this door and is not afraid of not getting out of the hole. He is not interested in the treasures in the cave. He desperately needs gold. So, considering the carrying capacity of the donkey, he decided to get only a few bags of gold coins, tie them in firewood and throw them on the donkey and carry them away. In this way, people can't see the bag, and they will still regard him as a woodcutter who cuts wood for a living. After thinking about all this, Ribaba said loudly, "Sesame, open the door!" " "With the sound, the cave door opened, and Libaba came out with the collected gold coins, and immediately said," Sesame, close the door! " "The door of the cave is closed. Dad soon took the gold and drove the donkey back to the city. When he got home, he quickly unloaded his bag, untied the bundle of firewood, moved the bag containing gold coins into the room and put it in front of his wife. His wife saw that the bag was full of gold coins and thought Baba was desperate to rob someone, so she scolded him and accused him of forgetting profits and doing bad things. "I am a robber? You should know my character. I never do bad things. " Ribaba begged a few words, then told his wife what happened in the mountains and the origin of these gold coins, and then poured them out and piled them in front of her. Baba's wife was very surprised to hear this. She was dazzled by the shiny gold coins. She sat down and was busy counting gold coins. Ribaba said, "Look at you! If you keep counting like this, when will you finish counting? It would be terrible if someone broke in and saw this. Ok, let's bury these gold coins first. " "Well, start. But I still have to measure how many gold coins there are, and I know quite well. " "This is a happy thing, but you must be careful not to tell anyone, or you will get into trouble." Dad's wife hurried to Geximu's house to borrow the meter. When Geximu was not at home, she said to his wife, "Sister-in-law, can you lend me your measuring instrument?" "Sure, but how much do you want to borrow?" "Just lend me Xiao Sheng." "Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Geximu's wife agreed. Geximu's wife is a very curious person. She wants to know what Leibaba's wife borrowed, so she brushed a little beeswax on the bottom of the liter, because she believed that no matter how much it was, it would always stick to the beeswax. She wants to satisfy her curiosity in this way. Baba's wife doesn't know this skill. She hurried home with litres and immediately began to use litres of gold coins. Baba has just dug a hole, and when his wife has finished measuring the gold coins, his hole will be dug. Together, they moved the gold coins into the hole, carefully covered them with soil and buried them. There was a gold coin stuck to the beeswax rising at the bottom, but they didn't notice it at all. So when the kind woman returned Sheng to her sister-in-law, her wife immediately found that Sheng had a gold coin on her, and she immediately felt envious and jealous. She said to herself, "Oh, dear! It turns out that they borrowed my liter to measure gold coins. " She thought, how can a poor man like Libaba measure gold coins in liters? There must be some secret in this. Geximu's wife thought and thought, but she still couldn't figure it out. Until dusk, when Geximu came back from swimming, she immediately said to him eagerly, "You are a man! You always think you are a rich businessman and the richest man. Now, open your eyes and have a look. On the surface, your brother Li Baba is poor, but secretly, he is as rich as a prince. I dare say that his wealth is much more than yours. He has saved so many gold coins that it needs to be measured. And your gold coin, just look at it and know its number. " "Where did you hear that?" Geximu track to ask. Geximu's wife immediately told him the story of Baba's wife's adoption, and the fact that she found a gold coin inserted in a rose. Then she showed him the gold coin with the name and year number of the ancient emperor on it. When Geximu knew this, he was surprised, jealous and suspicious at the same time. That night, he couldn't sleep all night because greedy thoughts haunted him. At dawn the next day, he got up in a hurry, went to Li's father and said, "Brother! You pretend to be pathetic, but in fact, you are not smart. I know that you have saved countless gold coins, and the number has reached the point where you need a bucket to count them. " "Can you make it clear? I don't know what you are talking about. " "You don't play dumb! You know exactly what I'm talking about. " Geximu showed him the gold coins angrily. "You have thousands of such gold coins. This is just one my wife found when you measured gold coins. " Li Baba suddenly realized that this matter had been known by the GMX couple and thought: This matter can no longer be kept secret. In this case, sex will tell everything. Although he knew it would bring misfortune and disaster, under such circumstances, he really had no choice but to be forced to tell his brother without reservation that he had found the robber looking for treasure in the cave. Hearing this, GMX said with an expression, "You must tell me everything you see, especially the exact address of the cave where the gold coins are stored, and the two spells to open and close the cave door. Now I want to warn you that if you refuse to tell me all this, I will report you to the government, they will confiscate your gold and send you to prison, and you will end up with both money and people. " Under the threat of his brother, Ribaba had to tell the location of the cave and the secret code to open and close the cave door. Geximu listened carefully, keeping all the details in mind. Early the next morning, Mother Gosi arrived in the mountains with ten mules he rented. According to Li Baba's story, he first found the big tree where Li Baba was hiding, and successfully found the mysterious hole. The scene in front of us is similar to what Bohr said. Believing that he had reached his destination, he shouted, "Sesame, open the door!" " With the shouts of Geximu, David suddenly opened and Geximu walked into the cave. As soon as he stopped, David shut up automatically. He doesn't care about these, because his attention is completely attracted by the mountains of treasures. Faced with so much gold and silver, he was very excited and somewhat at a loss. After calming down, I quickly collected the gold coins, put them into bags one by one, and then moved to the door one by one, ready to carry them out of the hole and carry them home. After everything was ready, he came to the closed hole. But because he was too excited before, he forgot the password to open the door, but shouted: "barley, open the door!" " "The door of the cave is still closed. Now he panicked. He shouted out all kinds of names belonging to beans and wheat in one breath, but he couldn't remember the name "sesame" Frightened, he kept spinning around in the cave, losing interest in the gold coins left behind the door to take away. Because of Geximu's excessive greed and jealousy, he has caused unexpected disasters. He has entered a desperate situation where there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go down. Now that his life is at stake, it is certainly impossible to realize his dream of making a fortune. In the middle of the night, the robbers came back. In the moonlight, they saw groups of animals in front of the cave. They want to know: How did these animals get here? The bandit leader came to the cave with his minions. Everyone got off the horse, said the signal, and the cave door opened. Geximu has heard the chirping of horses in the cave. From far to near, he knew that the robber had returned. He felt his life was in danger, and suddenly he was paralyzed by fear. However, he was lucky enough to summon up courage and rushed out while the cave door was open, hoping to survive. But the robber's sword turned him back. The bandit leader, whether he likes it or not, stabbed Geximu with his sword, but one of his men immediately drew his sword and cut Geximu in half, thus killing him. The robbers poured into the cave and made a quick inspection. They put Geximu's body in a bag, put the bag of gold coins he was going to take away back to the old place, and carefully counted all the items. The robbers didn't care about the gold coins that Libaba took, but they were all shocked and confused that outsiders could break into the cave. Because this is a natural barrier Jedi, the mountain is high and steep, and it is difficult for people to climb over many obstacles here, especially if they don't know the secret code for opening and closing the cave door, no one can get into the cave. Thought of here, they took their anger out on Geximu. Too many cooks dismembered his body and hung it on the left and right sides of the door as a warning to let those who dared to come here know the end. After all this, they walked out of the cave, closed the cave door and rode away. That night, Geximu didn't come home. His wife had a premonition that something had happened and ran to Rebaba's house in a hurry and asked, "Brother, your brother went out this morning and hasn't come home yet. You know his whereabouts, and now I'm worried that something will happen to him. If so, what can I do? " Dad also had a premonition that something unfortunate had happened, otherwise, Geximu could not go home now. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but he steadied his mood and still calmly comforted his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, Geximu probably made a detour back to the city for fear that outsiders would know his whereabouts, so he hasn't come home yet. I think he will come back later. " After hearing this, Geximu's wife felt a little comforted and returned home hopefully, waiting patiently for her husband's return. At midnight, there is still no one. She finally fidgeted and finally burst into tears because of nervousness and fear. She said to herself regretfully, "I revealed my father's secret to him, which aroused his envy and jealousy and led to his death." Geximu's wife was on pins and needles. She managed to stay up until dawn, so she hurried to Baba's house and begged him to go out and find his brother at once. Baba comforted her sister-in-law and then drove three donkeys to the cave. When he approached the mouth of the cave, he saw at a glance that the ground was covered with blood, but his brother and ten mules had disappeared, apparently running away. He couldn't help shuddering at the thought. He came to the mouth of the cave trembling and said, "Sesame, open the door!" " "The cave door opened in response. He hurried into the cave. As soon as he entered the cave door, he saw that Geximu's body was divided into several pieces, two hanging on the left and two hanging on the right. Baba was frightened, but he had to bite the bullet and pick up his brother's body and carry it on a donkey. Then he packed several bags of gold coins, carefully covered them with a stick, tied them into two packages and carried them with two other donkeys. After all this, he read the secret code, closed the cave door and drove the donkey down the mountain. Along the way, he tried his best to control his nervousness and concentrate on safely transporting the body and gold coins home. When he got home, he took home two donkeys full of gold coins and gave them to his wife to hide them, but he didn't say anything about Geximu's murder. Then, he took the donkey with the corpse to Geximu's home. Geximu's maid, Malkina, came to open the door and asked Libaba to drive the donkey into the yard. Ribaba unloaded Geximu's body from the donkey's back, and then said to the maid, "Ma Jinna, hurry up and prepare for your master's funeral. Now I will tell my sister-in-law the bad news first, and then I will help you. " At this moment, Geximu's wife saw Dad Li from the window and said, "Dad Li, what's the situation? Any news from your brother? Look at your sad face. Has he suffered a disaster? " Dad told her sister-in-law from beginning to end what happened to Geximu and how to smuggle his body back. After describing the incident in detail, Rebaba then said to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, it has happened and it is impossible to change it. Although it is sad, we should take a warning and keep it secret, otherwise our lives will be hard to protect. Geximu's wife knows that her husband has been killed, and it's no use complaining now, so she tearfully said to Rebaba, "My husband's life was predestined in his last life, and now I must accept it. Just for your safety and my future, I promise to keep your secret and never reveal anything. " "God's punishment is irresistible, now you rest at ease. After the mourning period, I will marry you as my concubine and support you for life, and you will be very happy. As for my wife, she is kind-hearted and will never be jealous of you. You can rest assured. " "Since you think it is more appropriate to do so, suit yourself." As she spoke, she could not help crying. Dad was very sad because of his brother's death. He left his sister-in-law and went back to Keena, the maid, to discuss his brother with her. After all this, he took the donkey home. As soon as Dad left, Markina immediately went to a drugstore, pretended as if nothing had happened, and began to chat with his boss to find out what medicine was effective for dying patients. "Who is terminally ill and wants to take this medicine? "The boss asked Markina." My master Geximu was seriously ill and dying. These days, he can neither talk nor eat, so we have no hope for his life or death. "After that, she went home with the medicine she bought. The next day, Machina went to the drugstore to buy medicine. Pretending to be sad and depressed, she sighed and said, "I'm afraid he can't even take the medicine." I'm afraid he is dead now. "At the same time as Keena bought medicine, Ribaba also made all the preparations. He stayed at home and waited patiently for the Geximu family to make a sad cry, so as to pretend to be sad and help the funeral. Early in the morning on the third day, Marci put on her veil and went to find the talented old tailor Baba Musta. She gave the tailor a gold coin and said, "Would you like to cover your eyes with a piece of cloth and come to my house with me? "Baba Musta doesn't want to do this. Marci na took out a gold coin and put it in his hand, repeatedly begging him to go. Baba Musta is a greedy ghost who covets small favors. When he saw the gold coins, he immediately agreed to this request, covered his eyes with a towel, and Jean-Mart Keener took him into the dark room where Geximu died. At this moment, Marci na took off the towel that covered Baba Musta's eyes and told him, "You put this body together as it is, sew it up, and then sew a shroud for him according to the length of the body. After this, I will give you a rich job. "Baba Mustafa sewed the body and made the shroud according to Marci's orders. Gina was satisfied, gave Baba Musta a gold coin, blindfolded him again, and then took him back to the tailor's shop. Marci quickly returned home, with the help of Ray Baba, washed Geximu's body with hot water, wrapped it, put it in a clean place, made all preparations before burial, and then went to the mosque to mourn the Imam, saying that mourners were waiting for him to attend the funeral and asked him to pray for the dead. Imam was invited to come to Geximu's home with Markina to pray for the dead, and held a ceremony as usual. Then four people left home carrying the coffin containing Geximu's body and sent it to the cemetery for burial. Marci na walked in front of the funeral procession, with long hair fluttering and crying. Ribaba and other relatives and friends followed, frowning one by one. Go home after the funeral. Geximu's wife stayed at home alone, crying. Ribaba hid at home and silently mourned for her brother to show her condolences. Because Marci and Rebaba are good at coping and considerate, no one knows the truth about Geximu's death except them and Geximu's wife. After forty days of mourning, Rebaba took out part of his property as a dowry, publicly married his sister-in-law as his concubine, and asked Geximu's eldest son to inherit his father's inheritance and reopen the closed shop. Geximu's eldest son once ran a business with a wealthy businessman and learned a lot about it, so he became adept in business. On this day, the robbers returned to the cave as usual and found that Geximu's body was no longer in the cave, and many gold coins were missing in the cave, which made them feel very surprised and at a loss. The leader said: "This matter must be seriously investigated, otherwise, the savings we have saved over the years will be stolen bit by bit. "Listen to the leadership, the gangsters think it can't be delayed, because they know that in addition to the people they hacked to death know the secret code to open and close the cave door, the people who moved the body and stole the gold coins must also know this secret code. So we must investigate this matter decisively. Only by finding that person can we avoid the property being stolen. After careful planning, they decided to send an alert person disguised as a foreign businessman to the streets of the city in order to find out who died recently and where they lived. In this way, they can find the net and find the person they want to catch. " Let me go into town and ask for some information. "A gangster took the initiative to ask the leader," I will know the situation soon. "If I can't finish the task, punish me whatever you want." The leader agreed to the gangster's request. That night, the gangster sneaked into the city in disguise. The next morning, he started his activities and found that all the shops in the street were closed, except the tailor Baba Musta's shop, where he was sewing. The gangster greeted him curiously and asked, "Genius dawns, why did you start making needle nets?" "I see you are a stranger. Although I am old, my eyesight is very good. Yesterday, I sewed a body in a dark room. " Hearing this, the gangster was secretly happy and thought, "I can only achieve my goal through him." He said quietly to the tailor, "I think you are joking with me." You mean you sewed a shroud for a dead man? ""What are you going to do? What does this matter have to do with you? The gangster quickly gave the tailor a gold coin and said, "I don't want to pry into any secrets." "I am an honest man. I just want to know whose house you worked for yesterday. Can you tell me about the place or take me there? " The tailor took the gold coin and couldn't refuse it, so he told him truthfully, "Actually, I don't know the address of that family, because I was taken away by a maid who covered her eyes with a handkerchief. When I got there, she took the handkerchief from my eyes. " I sewed up a corpse cut into pieces as required, made a shroud for him, and then the maid blindfolded me and sent me back. So I can't tell you the exact address there. ""Oh, what a pity! But it doesn't matter. Although you can't point out the specific location of that house, we can do the same exercises as you did last time, so that you will remember something. Of course, if you can do this well, I still have gold coins for you. "Then the gangster took out a gold coin and gave it to the tailor. Baba Musta put two gold coins in his pocket and left the shop. He took the gangster to the place where Markina blindfolded him, let him blindfolded him with a handkerchief and took him away. Baba Musta is a clear-headed and sensitive person. Pulled by gangsters, he soon entered the alley where Marci took him. As he walked, he speculated and calculated step by step. As he walked, he suddenly stopped and said, "I think I walked here with that maid last time." At this time, Baba Musta and the robbers have stood in front of Geximu's house, which is now Baba's house. When the gangsters found Geximu's home, they drew a mark on the gate with white chalk so as not to find the wrong door when they came back next time. Full of joy, he immediately took the handkerchief away from Baba Musta's eyes and said, "Baba Musta, you have helped me a lot. I am very grateful. May the great God bless you. Now tell me, who lives in this house? " "To tell you the truth, I don't know. I am not familiar with this area. "Knowing that he couldn't get more information from the tailor, the gangster thanked the tailor again and again and told him to go back. He hurried back to the cave to tell the news himself. After the tailor and the robber left, Jinna went on a business trip. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he was surprised to see the white mark on the door. She pondered for a while, thinking that someone had deliberately made an identification mark. What's the purpose? I don't know, but sneaking around like this is definitely not good. So she drew the same mark on all the neighbors' doors with chalk. She kept a secret and didn't tell anyone, even the host and hostess. When the robbers returned to the mountains, they told the bandit leader and his friends about the search network. When the leader and other robbers heard the news, they slipped into the city to meet the thieves. The gangster who marked the door of Rebaba's house directly took the leader to Rebaba's house and said, "Hey! The person we are looking for lives here. " The first leader looked at the house there, and then looked around. He found that every door was painted with the same mark. He was surprised and asked, "Every house here has the same sign on its door. Which one are you talking about? " The bandits leading the way were confused and at a loss. He swore, "I just marked the door of a house. I don't know where the marks on these doors came from, and now I'm not sure which marks I drew. " The leader pondered for a while and said to the gangster, "Because he didn't do a good job, we couldn't find the house we were looking for, so we were busy in vain." Now let's go back to the mountain for the time being and make plans later. " On a whim, the robbers returned to the cave in frustration. The leader took his anger out on the robber who led the way and beat him up. Then he ordered his men to tie him up and said, "Which one of you wants to go to the city to learn more?" If I can catch the thief, I will double his reward. "After listening to the gangster's words, another gangster said voluntarily," I am willing to inquire, and I believe I can meet your requirements. "Gangster boss agreed to send him to complete the task. So the gangster found Baba Musta in the tailor's shop, bribed the tailor with gold coins, used him to find Li Baba's home, drew a red mark on the doorpost of Li Baba's home, and then hurried back to the cave to report to the gangster. He proudly said, "Tell the chief that I have found the house, and this time I marked the doorpost with red chalk. "I can tell easily." When Marchina walked out of the house, she found another red mark on the doorpost, and she drew the same mark on the doorpost of her neighbor's house. The second Wang of the Wang Sect quickly completed the task, but the situation was the same as the first time. When the gangster returned to the city, he found red marks on the doorposts of every family nearby. They felt that they had been teased again and had to go back to the cave in frustration. Angry, the bandit leader tied up the second bandit and sighed, "All my men are gluttonous. It seems that I have to do this myself to solve the problem. " The gangster made up his mind to go to the city alone and found the tailor Baba Musta as usual. With his help, he came to Li Baba's house smoothly. He learned the lessons of the first two gangsters and made no achievements. He just remembered the location of the house and the surrounding scenery. Then he immediately rushed back to the cave and said to the gangster, "I have carved that place in my heart, so it will be easy to find it next time." Now you buy me 19 mules, a big bag of vegetables and 38 crocks with the same shape and volume at once. Then tie these urns to a backpack and carry them with 19 mules and horses. Each mule carries two urns. I dressed up as an oil seller and went to the door of a bad house when it got dark, begging him to let me spend the night. Then, in the evening, we started work together, which ended his life and regained the stolen property. " His proposal was supported by gangsters, who happily went to buy mules, skins, crocks and other things separately. After running for three days, I got everything I needed, and I put a little greasy on the outside of the crock. Under the command of the bandit leader, they filled a large urn with vegetable oil. Armed bandits lurked in 37 urns and were carried by 19 mules. Dressed as a businessman, the gang leader drove mules and grandly transported oil into the city. It was dark before he arrived outside Libaba's house. Dad has just had dinner and is still walking in front of the house. The bandit leader took the opportunity to approach him, greeted him, and said, "I came to town from other places to sell oil, and I often come here to do business." It's too late today to find a suitable place to live. I beg you to be merciful and let me stay in your hospital for one night to reduce the burden on the animals. Of course, please add some feed to satisfy your hunger. " Although dad had seen the face of the bandit leader, he didn't see it because of his clever disguise and darkness?
